Fruit Creme or Oreo? Biomed students Desiree Mikhael and Milana Milivojevic, volunteers with the UWin Blood Club, display packets of cookies that await donors at Tuesday’s campus clinic.
Giving blood is one of the most direct ways you can help someone, and the entire process — from the moment donors walk through the door to the moment they finish a cookie and leave — takes about an hour.
Canadian Blood Services will conduct a donor clinic on Tuesday, January 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the CAW Student Centre’s Alumni Auditorium.
Walk-in donors are welcome, but appointments will better accommodate donors’ working schedules. To book an appointment, call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283).
As with previous clinics, the Department of Human Resources encourages all eligible employees to participate in this worthwhile process and asks any employees who wish to donate to make the necessary arrangements with their supervisors regarding the possibility of extended lunch or break periods.
